Beautiful feet on the Mountain Top!
Prayers 1. Sing a song of praise and worship to God: Glorify His Holy Name 2. Father, let me walk upon my high places from now in the name of Jesus.
Text: Isaiah 52:7 7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
Note: The word beauty also resonates (occurs) in this verse. God is saying here that the mountain top is the portion of those who:
1. Bring good tidings - good news of the salvation through Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12), That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I Am who I claim to be, you will die in your sins.” (John 8:24)
2. Those who publish peace - true and everlasting peace is only obtainable in Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6, John 14:27)
3. Declare that God reigns both to believers and unbelievers.
Benefits 1. They will not be in lowly places.
2. Their feet - instruments of movement will be on the high places of the earth.
3. They will move with the grace and glory of God.
4. They will be above struggles and problems besetting people at the bottom.
May these be your portion in the name of Jesus.
Remember that only God is able to truly lift you up and sustain the lifting: 1. He can raise a beggar to the seat of government. The Bible says in 1 Samuel 2:8 that: He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them. (KJV) He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump. He sets them among princes, placing them in seats of honor. For all the earth is the LORD’s, and he has set the world in order. (NLT) You lift the poor and homeless out of the garbage dump and give them places of honor in royal palaces. You set the world on foundations, and they belong to you. (CEV) God raised David from the bush to the palace, from a keeper of sheep to the president of a nation. He raised Daniel from being a slave to a prime minister and brought Joseph out of prison to become a vice president. Your much-desired lifting will come this year in the name of Jesus. God will change your story for good and put laughter into your mouth in Jesus’ name. God’s lifting upon your life this year will surprise you and the people around you in the mighty name of Jesus. 2. He can set your feet upon the rock (unshakeable grounds, giving you a sound and sure footing) He brought me up out of a horrible pit [of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a rock, steadying my footsteps and establishing my path. (Psalm 40:2) May God bring you out of every horrible pit in Jesus’ name. May God deliver you and yours from the sinking sands of life in Jesus’ name. May God set your feet on the rock to stay. May He steady your footsteps, lead you, guide you, and establish your goings in Jesus’ name.
3. God can turn your lowly place into a high place, your valley into the mountain top. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: (Isaiah 40:4) May you encounter a change of story today. Where you have been having low points instead of high points, may that valley situation become exalted in the name of Jesus. May every mountain-like (immovable, unshifting) problem melt away from your life and your ways in the name of Jesus.
4. He can make you to ride upon the high places of the earth Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. (Isaiah 58:14)
May God give you the grace to always delight yourself in the Lord.
You will not be and no longer be found in the lowly places in Jesus’ name.
May God cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth in Jesus’ name.
By the mercy of God, may God feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father in Jesus’ name. This means that: In blessing, God will bless you. God will make your name great. You will be a blessing. God will fight your battles, those who curse you will be cursed and those who bless you will be blessed. You will not lack any good thing. You will be wealthy in Jesus’ name. The Bible stated that Jacob was exceedingly prosperous. He was very wealthy. He had large flocks of sheep and goats, female and male servants, and many camels and donkeys. In current-day terms, he was very wealthy, he had several huge investments which yield returns, several people were working for him in his businesses, and he had several vehicles including transport trucks and other modes of transportation. You will be counted among the wealthy in the name of Jesus.
What should you do to walk the mountain top life? 1. Be born again
2. Be a student of the Bible: But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: (1 Peter 3:15 KJV)
Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it. (1 Peter 3:15 NLT)
3. Be a carrier of good news. The best good news is the news of salvation from sin and redemption into a royal life in God’s kingdom. Some people are so negative, don’t let it rub off on you. To them, everything is bad from the weather to the economy, to their friends and families, etc. Remember, that you will have whatever you say, even unsaid thoughts in your life, so guard your thoughts.
4. Be humble and let God lift you up: Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. (James 4:10)
5. Preach the Word at every opportunity you have 16holding out and offering to everyone the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to rejoice greatly because I did not run [my race] in vain nor labor without result.
Prayer: Father, intervene in my situation and let me live the mountain-top life in the name of Jesus.
Prayer 1. Give thanks 2. Born again? 3. Lord, let me walk upon my high places. 4. Lord of Hosts, bring me into my wealthy place in the name of Jesus.. 5. Personal prayer points
May our excellent God, let His Spirit of excellence be upon your life now and always in the name of Jesus. Receive the grace to walk and live with beautiful feet on the mountaintop in Jesus’ name. May you enter into your wealthy place in the name of Jesus.
